wx.aui manager question

I am currently working on a really big application. It would take me a lot of time to try it out. I’d like to hear your thoughts on it.

I have an application managed by an auimanager. On the application there are several panes. one contains only a notebook, where the others contain some other controls. My problems is that when the user is moving two panes together there appear tabs that manage the choice of the corresponding pane, but the problem is that the tabs are horizontal and it makes it a problem for the ussability.

Is there a way to make the tabs appear vertically?

another question of mine is, I am missing the property to change the icon of the minimized pane. any suggestions? Then It would be really nice to make a bar like in OPERA containing all of the panes?

anotherone… A hypothetical one. I suposse that it is possible to have two auimanagers managing one frame. If I have for instance 3 panes. 1 and 2 are managed by manager A and 3 is managed by manager B. My question is also, if it is possible to move pane 1 to be arranged with pane 3. to move a pane from manager to manager.

Thanks

Yes, another question.

What is the difference between the auimanager method addpane(), addpane1(), addpane2(),…

In general, I find it very hard to find somewhere good documentation about wxpython. I would be very gratefull for some links and tips where to find some. The two book there are on the market, and good for beginners, but if you need to dive in deeper, then I can not find good stuff

Hi,
it appears, that you are using the more recent python implementation
of aui - agw.aui which offers more versatility;
the docs can be found at:
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/infinity77/AGW_Docs/aui_module.html#aui
e.g. the mentioned question of addpane... at:
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/infinity77/AGW_Docs/
aui.framemanager.AuiManager.html#aui.framemanager.AuiManager.AddPane
This is because it originated as a separate library written by Andrea
Gavana and was later incorporated to the official wxpython.

The original wx implementation of aui is documented for wxpyton:
http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.aui-module.html
for underlying wxwidgets
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/2.9.2/overview_aui.html
and partly by the original developers:
http://www.kirix.com/labs/wxaui/documentation.html

Also, in case you haven't used it sofar, make sure to check the
wxpython demo with the respective agw section:
http://www.wxpython.org/download.php

Unfortunately, I am not able to help with the specific questions, as I
only use a limited subset of wx.aui myself and stil find some features
of it kind of less predictable or even "magical". Anyway, it can
definitely save lots of work with custom layouting of more complex
apps.

regards,

Thanks VBR. Great sources.

I mean really, aqw is a great library. saves you a lot of work from dealing with this painfull sizers. it would be great if it would be better documented

http://xoomer.virgilio.it/infinity77/AGW_Docs/index.html

Any patch to improve the docs is more than welcome.

Andrea.
